Perhaps it is just me but it feels as if GN has lost some of the performance gains from an earlier build. Especially for large feed channels, GN takes very long to update and does in the process a lot of harddisk work. My environment didn't change, and my disks are defragmented.

Jack, while you upgraded the database structure, could it be that you missed adding some important indices?

That flag marks read all items displayed on current page. I can see that might be a problem if you glimpse through several channels, then read items one by one. I guess you have news list always open? If so I should be able to check aginst that.

Alex, when did you start getting this performance issue? Just in build 361 or earlier builds too?

Yes, I read articles in a News List one by one so I think it would be reasonable to have an option to mark a single article as read interactively (or after X seconds maybe, but I use only instant marking). Can I expect such option in future builds?

Yes, it works as earlier (marks single article as read), but this option is misleading I think - in options it says "Mark current page as read [interactively]", but it does something different so maybe you want to split it into two options?

BTW, another issue - is it possible to add an option to make News List opened by default when GreatNews starts?
